It’s absolutely on Biden, the Democrats, and the Universities for their crackdown on the pro-Palestinian protestors since Operation al-Aqsa Flood. Otherwise there would have been no criminal charges to use as a pretext for this order. The protests were peaceful until the authorities and unrestricted pro-Israel mobs escalated.

Thank you!. My wife filmed it and her commentary still sends me.

I’m still nervous about letting her ride near street traffic, so that is good advice.

I followed my cousin’s example of using a balance bike and skipping training wheels entirely. I can’t recommend it enough.

Thank you! This video is from about a year and a half ago. Hoping to get another couple of seasons out of this bike before we get something bigger. She’s already asking about a gear shifter.

Lol my old Maytag is probably the most polite and introverted appliance in my house.

Imagine that.

The Houthis have literally fired back at US forces already. It’s embarrassing that an editor approved this phrasing in the headline and body text.

They’re people from (illegal) settlements. I think settler is an objectively correct word for them. I’m sure there are also other accurate terms.

I wonder if there is a way to actually empower individuals when it comes to environmental issues, like if each of us had some kind of right to the various resources we lived near. For example, experts might determine that there’s only so much water that could be sustainably extracted from a given source in a year. Well, just divide that amount among the people who depend on that source and ration representative credits to them. To get water from that source, one would have to be paid for with a corresponding amount of credits. People can sell the credits they don’t need to anyone who wants extra. Water intensive operations like hydraulic fracturing or pistachio farming would cease to get their water for free. They’d have to directly compensate the people for using this resource by buying water credits. The idea would probably crash the economy, since capitalism depends on cheap access to natural resources.

Airlines are too fast in several senses. First, people don’t usually need to get somewhere as quickly as an airline allows. Someone who is really on urgent business can use telepresence or a charter instead. Second, the airports on either end of a trip are frequently too slow, making airlines and example of “hurry up and wait”. Third, airlines move people through timezones very quickly, exacerbating jet lag.

I agree with you that airlines are too uncomfortable even for their speed to overcome. Slow travel can be much more comfortable. For example, many people are willing to spend days on trains and cruise ships.

Yes, but for passenger service rather than cargo. Passenger jets are too fast, too uncomfortable, and cause too much pollution.
